A5 D5 A5
I don't know where I'm bound
A5 D5 A5
I don't know where I'm bound
D5 A5
Whistles calling me away
D5 A5
leaving at the break of day and
A5
I don't know where I'm bound
Can't stand locks, bars or doors
mean cops insanity and wars
Gotta find a place of peace
Till then much travellin' on seas
but I don't know where I'm bound
There's gotta be a place for me
under some green growing tree
clear cool water running by
an unfettered view of the sky
but I don't know where I'm bound
When I die don't bury me
cause then I must be free
cremate my body with a grin
throw my ashes to the wind
cause I don't know where I'm bound
D5 A5
I don't know where I'm bound
E5 A5
I don't know where I'm bound
D5 A5
Whistles calling me away
D5 A5
leaving at the break of day and
A5 D5 A5
I don't know where I'm bound
Got myself a little gall
she has been a damn right pall
that ol' highway's calling me
and free I gotta be but
I don't know where I'm bound
